Films

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, we will be screening one part of the six part PBS series, Latino Americans. You can also stream this series through our Access Videos on Demand database. Discussion will follow the film at 7:30 pm.
Screening and discussion will take place in the lower level meeting room.

Join us as we watch the energetic musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954).
Set in Oregon in 1850 but based on the ancient Roman legend of the Sabine women, this film is particularly known for Micheal Kidd's unusual choreography. He makes dance numbers out of frontier pursuits such as chopping wood and raising a barn. Film critic Stephanie Zacharek has called the barn-raising sequence in Seven Brides "one of the most rousing dance numbers ever put on screen."

You are cordially invited to a free showing of the movie "The King's Speech", starring Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter, at Palisades Library, on Sunday, August 9, at 2 pm. Please join us for this Summer Reading program.

As part of our Adult Daytime Programming series, Movies in the Afternoon will present a selection from a variety of films each month, including feature films and documentaries.
Join us in Room A-5 on the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
